Models Abbey Lee Kershaw, Sasha Pivovarova, and Natasha Poly refused to walk in Alexander McQueen's spring collection out of fear of those already legendary "armadillo heels
Please be advised that times are now tough. Many of the fashions directors are being more and more cautious of what to put out onto the runways, and the additional money needed for risk taking is now longer there as their own key investors have gone broke themselves. Thus ill fated combinations of different styles and fabric arrangements are being tried to fill in the vacume left by the lost of risk taking creativity and design structured innovations - often with a cheap negative reaction by observer buyers and who are not buying like they once were as a result.
Moreover, there are new models, lable them now as the 2010s, who are trying to stay in a dress size 2 instead of 4 in an attempt to gain more jobs, and this is not helping either. There are increased negative connotations now in fitting in a dress size 6. Some of the newer fashion models are even publically caught in embarrassing off balance moments crossing Park Avenue in New York City, especailly stumbling on the curve stone adjacent to 514/515 Park Avenue, and are being picked up and recorded by I - Phone observers right their in the streets and in other districts in NYC, Times Square and Broadway InterSection and LA when they are instantly recognized as top fashions - beauty models.
